Monday, October 30: The Vermont Farm to School & Early Childhood Network's Annual Gathering! 

The gathering is open to anyone who is interested in strengthening food systems education for our youth and getting more local food into school cafeterias and early childhood programs.

All are welcome: whether you're a longtime farm to school champion, or brand new to the movement, the gathering is the best opportunity to plug into farm to school and early childhood projects and events from across the state. 

We'll convene at Vermont Technical College's Campus Center in Randolph Center to share progress and learning, celebrate success, connect with peers, and strategize next steps.

Directions: We'll convene at the Campus Center, the large room within the College's SHAPE Facility where we'll meet—please reference this google map, which will direct you right to the SHAPE Facility. There will be ample signage for the Campus Center, as well as event signage. Attendees are welcome to park in one of two parking lots right outside the building.

Reminder: please test for COVID before attending. Our efforts here will surely help some feel more comfortable attending, and at ease during our time together. We're grateful for everyone's help with this.
